This RHS Premium Cell Grown Holly (Ilex aquifolium) plant comes with the benefits of container grown plants but the price is nearer the bare root price.
The Ilex Aquifolium is a slow growing evergreen plant-- so needs little maintenance. Its dense form and prickly leaves are good intruder deterrent. It is in leaf all year-- in flower from May to June-- and the seeds ripen from November to March. The scented flowers are dioecious-- individual flowers are either male or female-- but only one sex is to be found on any plant-- so both male and female plants must be grown if seed is required. The redorange berries on pollinated female plants provide food for native bird throughout the winter.

Benefits
• RHS cell grown holly hedging plants, under licence granted by the Royal Horticultural Society
• Overall-- the benefits of potted plants with the price of bare root plants
• Extended planting season - they can be planted when you want to plant them-- as long as the roots are kept moist. You are not restricted to the bare root season
• Minimal root disturbance - root systems are supplied intact-- with no loss of fine feeding roots and root hairs-- so once planted they can grow rapidly-- not suffering the shock that bare root plants will.
• Uniformity - these plants are more uniform.
NB: Cell Grown Plants are sold in bundles containing 120 plants. Unfortunately-- we are unable deliver split bundles. We can offer a substantial volume discount. These plants are between 10-20cm high though the actual height may vary due to the growing season.
